I have gpg and gpg2 installed but have been exclusively using gpg2 for
both my card and normal private keys without issue. I'm definitely in
support of dropping gpg1.

However, calling it an "old branch" is a bit of a misnomer, as
upstream just released a version of it in the last month or so. 1.4 vs
2.x have very different architectures and 2.x is much more
componentized.
